Grand Central Park’s Bark in the Park Returns November 2 With New Features

By  | 

CONROE, TX – There’s plenty to bark about when it comes to Grand Central Park’s 3rd Annual Bark in the Park Dog Walk as it returns to the Montgomery County community of new homes on Saturday, November 2.

This year the forested community will open its winding, tree-lined trails for the popular, 1.5-mile walk with new activities, a new start time, free pet adoptions presented by Perry Homes and Westin Homes, kids activities and more.

Also new for this year, Bark in the Park will offer a special dog lure course where any and all breeds can channel their inner Retriever and run after a mechanical lure on a course that simulates the chasing of live prey. Best of all, everyone’s furry friends will have plenty of energy thanks to Bark in the Park’s new start time of 11:00 a.m. Onsite, day-of-registration begins at 10:00 a.m.
